  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Conventional tattoo devices generally comprise a tattoo machine, a tattoo handle, a tattoo needle tip, and a tattoo needle. Users need to assemble these components before use. While assembling, the tattoo handle is connected with the tattoo machine, the tattoo needle tip is mounted to the handle, the tattoo needle passes through a central hole in the handle, and then the tip of the tattoo needle reaches the opening of the tattoo needle tip.
  • In prior art, the basic configuration of a tattoo needle tip is substantially a cylindrical tube. One end of the cylindrical tube is provided with a truncated cone part. The end head of the truncated cone part is provided with a tattoo needle passage and a needle tip opening for a tattoo needle to protrude.
  • The basic structure of a common tattoo needle comprises a needle head and a needle bar connecting with the needle head. The needle head usually is composed of a plurality of thin needle wires. A plurality of thin needle wires constitute a cylindrical shape to form a round needle head, or a plurality of thin needle wires are arranged side by side to form a flat needle head. A needle tip equipped with around or rhombus opening is used corresponding to the round needle head, and a needle tip equipped with a rectangle opening is used corresponding to the flat needle head. The needle tip equipped with a rectangle opening can also be designed to be open, that is, designed as a rectangle slot. According to different diameters of the round needle head and different widths of the flat needle head, the needle tip opening and tattoo needle passage are accordingly designed with corresponding sizes.
  • The truncated cone part of the needle tip is designed to form a truncated cone shaped inner cavity inside the needle tip, and the truncated cone shaped inner cavity is also named as an ink storage cavity. The internal wall from the truncated cone shaped inner cavity to the needle tip opening mostly is designed to be a streamlined smooth internal wail, so as to prevent the needle tip from being bent by the resistance caused during inserting the tattoo needle.
  • While working, the tattoo needle processes a high-frequency, linear reciprocating motion, so, the needle tip dipped with the ink rushes out of the needle tip opening to penetrate the skin, and then the needle tip returns to the needle tip opening to dip the ink to rush out again. The tattooist will dip the needle tip in a small ink cup to fill the needle tip with the ink; interstice is provided between the internal wall of the needle tip opening and the tattoo needle, so, usually the tattoo ink will be sucked into the needle tip opening, and the needle tip opening and the internal wall of the tattoo needle passage will be dipped with the tattoo ink. Some tattooists will start the tattoo machine for a short time while dipping the tattoo ink, so, the tattoo needle will process an up-and-down, reciprocating, high-speed motion, and the ink will quickly be raised to fill the inner cavity of the truncated cone part. While making tattoos, the smooth internal wall of the inner cavity of the tattoo needle tip is not good for holding the ink, and the ink will flow towards the needle tip opening by the action of gravity and the motion of the tattoo needle.
  • Currently, a general problem that occurs when a tattooists uses these needle tips is that, if the needle tip is filled with too much ink, the ink will easily leak to stain the tattoo design while making tattoos. To avoid the ink leakage, the tattooist has to add a small amount of ink each time, and increases the frequency of adding ink. During tattooing, adding ink frequently will bring trouble and inconvenience to the tattooists, so, break or insufficiency of ink supply will frequently occur during making tattoos. This will result in difficulties when making smooth, long tattoo lines for the tattooist.
